I bought some new bunnies, what colors are they?

[AClark]

Please and thank you I picked them up last night, two does but they weren't sure of the age or anything else about them - I double checked that they were does. They had them in with a buck so there's a possibility of pregnancy and I'm working on getting them separate cages today. They are good sized, probably about the same size as my Cali/NZW cross buck. Both are really sweet and have obviously been handled, you can pick them up and they don't kick or anything.
My guess is the brown is an agouti, I'm not sure about the broken, the spots and her ears are a weird silvery color - in dogs she'd be a silver sable - but rabbit colors I'm not too sure of when it comes to anything but basics.
We're moving them as soon as I make another cage, I'm out of space in my laundry room, that and they all kick shavings and poop all over and that doesn't fly with me.

I'm no help with color, but those sure are sweet looking rabbits.

Cute rabbits! No clue on what the color would be.

Thanks, they are darlings. Weird coincidence, I bought 2 new water bottles yesterday on amazon while I was shopping for pool supplies (the sun leaches the chlorine out so bad and we have algae issues lol) and came across those as add on items...so yeah, 2 new bottles, and then suddenly 2 new bunnies. Wasn't really planning on it, we were discussing it and then hubby skimmed CL and found these guys - he said 1, I said 2...you see how that worked.

In this country, Agouti is a pattern, but not generally a color. Almost all breeds have a name other than Agouti for that basic, wild-type color; most call it Chestnut.

The broken is a color called Chinchilla, or Chin for short.

Congrats on your new buns!

Awesome, thanks so much. I love the chinchilla color, it's really pretty. Rabbit colors are confusing for me, but ask me about horses and I can drop it to a genetic break-down.

The tan one is probably a red.
